Al-Aima Bridge in Baghdad to be reopened
2008-07-20
Life continues to return to normal in Iraq. Will Obama notice?
BAGHDAD, July 19 (VOI) – Baghdad operations command – Rusafa sector (eastern Baghdad) will re-open al-Aima Bridge that links the two neighborhoods of Adhamiya (Sunni) and Kadhimiya (Shiite) during the coming few days, after being blocked for three years, Rusafa operations commander said. "The upcoming days will witness the reopening of al-Aima Bridge which was closed by the Iraqi government three years ago," Major General Monther Nesayef told Aswat al-Iraq - Voices of Iraq - (VOI).

He stressed the social importance of this issue, "and the relations between the two neighborhoods and re-practicing trade activities between them and other Baghdadi neighborhoods."

"Security services are currently preparing for the bridge's reopening," he added.
